What is at stake for Spain and England?

After winning the World Cup in July, Spain have continued their remarkable form with five consecutive Nations League victories, extending their overall winning run to 12 matches.

As a result, Luis de la Fuente's side enjoy a three-point lead at the top of Group A3, knowing they simply need to avoid defeat against England to seal first spot. 

Like Spain, England have already clinched a quarter-final berth after bouncing back from a 3-2 defeat against La Roja with four consecutive victories in their home and away games against the Czech Republic and Croatia.

Thomas Tuchel's side will snatch top spot if they are able to take three points from Sunday's fixture, but that will be easier said than done as Spain have not lost a competitive game since falling to a 2-0 defeat to Scotland in European Championship qualifying in March 2023.
